When it Comes to Marijuana Reform, Canadians Simply Can’t Afford to Wait

This was one of Justin Trudeau’s campaign promises and a stance, as poll after poll confirms, that is widely supported by Canadians.

This promise was once again repeated in last week’s Speech from the Throne, entitled, interestingly enough, “Making real change happen.”

The government, however, appears to be moving slowly on this particular pledge.

During the campaign, Trudeau promised to create a federal/provincial/territorial task force and to consult widely with public health officials and law enforcement in designing a regime for regulating the production and sale of marijuana.
